Jimmy Mullin scored his tournament-leading fifth goal on a penalty shot in the third period to help lead USA into the gold medal game vs. Canada East. Brendan Oâ€™Donnell did not find the scoresheet for Canada West, who will play Switzerland for the bronze. This will be the first time in the AJACâ€™s 5-year history Canada West wonâ€™t play for gold. USA is seeking its third-straight gold medal.

Connolly didnâ€™t score, but was on the plus-side of even for the first time in 8 games. He converted his shootout attempt as the Cougars stole a victory in Vancouver. Connolly has 3 points in his last 7 games, but is still over a point-per-game pace.
